We invite you to voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific through one of the greatest man‑made wonders of the world, the ingenious Panama Canal—an experience nearly unmatchable in its drama and engineering marvel. Having celebrated its centennial anniversary just four years ago, and recently completing a monumental expansion doubling its capacity, this 50‑mile passage through the narrow isthmus of Panama continues to astonish even today’s most veteran traveler. During a specially arranged and narrated daylight transit, experience firsthand the mighty locks that raise and lower oceangoing vessels 85 feet, employing only the force of gravity to accomplish in mere hours what would have taken a three‑week circumnavigation of South America in years gone by.

This journey of a lifetime also features the planet’s most pristine ecosystems in the rainforests, islands and archipelagos of Panama and Costa Rica during the best time of year. On this comprehensive itinerary, explore the heart of Panama City’s UNESCO World Heritage‑designated Casco Antiguo—the city’s old town—and tour acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s only design in Latin America, Panama City’s Biodiversity Museum. Visit Panama’s ancient San Blas Islands, where the native Guna people live as they did centuries ago.

Cruise aboard the exclusively chartered Five‑Star Le Champlain, launching in 2018 and featuring the extraordinary Blue Eye, the world’s first multisensory observation lounge. This sophisticated small ship offers only 92 Suites and Staterooms, each with a private balcony. Dock in small ports of call inaccessible to larger vessels and enjoy the advantages of Five‑Star, small‑ship cruising—elegant ocean‑view accommodations, an exclusive itinerary carefully crafted with enriching excursions led by experienced onboard naturalists and attentive, personal service.

Space is limited for this extraordinary travel opportunity and excellent value, so book now!

All the best,

Nature's Wondersin the Heart of the RainforestNature's WondersNature's Wondersin the Heart of the Rainforest

Called the “coast of riches” by the Spanish conquistadors who sought to colonize it following Columbus’s arrival in 1502, Costa Rica offers diverse and fascinating riches, from its impossibly fertile landscapes

to the perseverant culture of its indigenous people. More than 25 percent of this captivating country is a national park, wildlife refuge

or protected rainforest, earning Costa Rica the distinction of the greenest country in the world and the leading destination for eco‑tourism. Explore lush rainforests, stroll coral‑fringed beaches and encounter a vivid array of wildlife, including howler monkeys, colorful tree frogs and 600 species of non‑migratory birds. The national motto of Costa Rica is “Pura vida!” which translates to “pure life”; it is expressed in the proud and welcoming faces of the ticos (Costa Rican natives), the passionate biologists captivated by the flourishing rare and endemic species, and the spectacularly vivacious landscape itself.

San Blas Islands, PanamaLocated on the Caribbean side of Panama, the sun‑drenched San Blas Islands are a living testament to Panama’s indigenous Guna people, also known as the Kuna, and their centuries‑old language, customs and culture. Villagers live in typical thatched‑roof huts, barter or trade in fish and agricultural products, and paddle dugout canoes, their main mode of transportation. Guna women continue to hand stitch traditional colorful molas (reverse appliqué panels) and wear winis, long strings of tiny beads wrapped around their forearms and legs in striking geometric patterns. The pristine, turquoise waters of Golfo de San Blas—populated with untouched coral reefs and vibrant marine life—offer an exciting opportunity for swimming.

Panama CityBy special arrangement, cruise through the fascinating Panama Canal. Arrive in Central America’s most attractive capital city and learn more about the operation of the canal’s locks in the adjacent

Miraflores Locks Visitor Center. Nearby, the new Biodiversity Museum, designed by architect Frank Gehry of Guggenheim fame, showcases the ecological significance of Panama’s exotic flora and fauna.

Tens of thousands of workers labored and sacrificed to complete the largest engineering endeavor of the early 20th century.

The 580-foot-long SS Kroonland was the largest passenger ship of its time to transit the Panama Canal in 1915.

During a daylight passage, experience firsthand the “greatest liberty man has ever taken with nature,” which cuts through the Great Continental Divide, spans 50 miles and took 33 years and 100,000 laborers to complete at a cost of $400 million. This historic engineering feat changed the world, opened new channels of international trade and allowed ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in a fraction of the time it took to circumnavigate South America.

After France’s failed attempt to build a sea‑level canal here in the 19th century, and following the U.S. involvement in Panama’s independence, the project resumed under the watchful eye of President Theodore Roosevelt. When completed in 1914, the Panama Canal was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Now, more than a century later, the canal has undergone a $5.25 billion expansion to accommodate more than twice the cargo, maintaining its status as the “gateway to the world.”
